Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I mainly post about my sewing projects, as Iā€™m building a colourful and comfortable everyday wardrobe suitable for a working mum of primary school children. I really love African wax fabric, so that features heavily. I also occassionally post about family life in Edinburgh and travel. Hope you have a nice stay!

French Terry LB Pullover

French Terry LB Pullover

Ever since I've made the Lb pullover in a woven, I've wanted to make it in a knit, and now I did. This is not the most exciting thing I've ever made, but it's a good base for putting on necklaces and scarves, and so comfy!!I think more of these will be forthcoming!

Pattern: LB pullover by paper theory


Size: 16


Fabric: French Terry from Koala Kreations. It doesn't have a huge amount of stretch, but enough


Adjustments: none. I used the non rolled neckline, which is only suitable for knit fabric, as it does need stretched. I'd use bias binding for any woven ones


That's all there is to say about this! I didn't look at the instructions this time, so not sure if I did it all as instructed
